Announcing his resignation for the YSR Congress Party, Dadi Veerabhadra Rao said that had Jagan been in jail till the conclusion of the recent elections, the candidates of the party could have won. Terming Jagan Mohan Reddy as a dictator, Veerabhadra Rao said that he was deceived with Jagan words. He said that the Jagan he had met in prison is different from the present one.

Veerabhadra Rao said that Jagan Mohan Reddy is afraid of Sharmila becoming a power centre if she contested and became a Member of Parliament. He said that Jagan did not even work for the victory of his mother Vijayamma who had contested from Visakhapatnam Lok Sabha constituency. Dadi Veerabhadra Rao said that the party would bury in due course and alleged that Jagan Mohan Reddy has allotted party tickets to his jail mates. Jagan is in one way responsible for the defeat of his mother and YSRCP honorary president Vijayamma, Dadi said. He said that Jagan had no moral or democratic values and said that 'it was an impulsive decision to join the YSRCP and we are regretting the mistake'.

Veerabhadra Rao charges refutedYSRCP leaders came to the rescue of party chief Jagan Mohan Reddy and refuted the serious charges levelled by former party leader Dadi Veerabhadra Rao.

YSRCP leaders Madugula MLA B Mutyala Naidu, Araku MLA K Sarveswara Rao, MLC DV Suryanarayana Raju and party rural district president Boddeti Prasad lashed out at him for his outbursts. They recalled that it is not new to him and it was no surprise for his allegations since he had made the same against Telugu Desam Party at the time of joining the YSRCP and it is now being made against Jagan Reddy to please someone in store.
